This is fascinating. Pew Research finds the following:
The question itself is amazing. notice this part of the poll question:
"... say a person’s gender can be different from the sex they were assigned at birth."
Sex assigned at birth? This is simple biology and the sex except in rare endocrinopathies is not assigned at birth but at conception. At birth the sex is noted, it is not assigned.
What would be interesting would be to see if those people answered the same way if the question said: "a person’s gender can be different from the biological sex at birth." Or perhaps "a person’s gender can be different from the genetic sex".
Maybe ask them if their genotype can change if you want it to.
Around here I often see the Science is Real signs. Strangely it appears for these 77% of Democrats with Bachelor's degrees Science is not so real. For them what they probably mean is our pseudoscience is real.
The survey also finds that Democrats with a bachelor’s degree or more education are more likely than other Democrats to say a person’s gender can be different from the sex they were assigned at birth. About three-quarters (77%) of Democrats with a bachelor’s degree or more say this, compared with 60% of Democrats with some college and 57% of those with a high school diploma or less. No such divide exists among Republicans.
